Thread: Best RTS for you!!! And which RTS have you played?

Hello,

First of all I hope your fine.

I'm thinking to start playing a good addictive RTS game but I don't know which one.

So can you give me a little help and tell me, for you, which is the best RTS available?
If you want you can also post some future releases (i would also appreciate that).

And tell me also, which RTS have you played?

BTW, I used to play Stronghold Crusader and Age Of Empires



Thanks in advance,

I grew up on the old blizzard RTS games. I miss my Star Craft brood war I'll have to track it down again. I loved Star Craft, in spite of rushing.

I agree with AltEisen, Starcraft is Excellent. I still play it to this day and it came out in 1997. God Bless Blizzard.

Also AltEisen you know if you dont have your CD Blizzard let you legally download the game from thier site as long as you have your Cdkey.

I loved AOE2 for ages hehe (old school)
but currently my fav has to be DOW.

Starcraft for me.
ive played
AoE 1-3
Warcraft 1-3
C&C all
and more i just cant think of any.

best rts I've played would have to be C&C:red alert 2 .. that game is awesome. especially multiplayer online. haven't played it much lately though.

Wow, an RTS thread! I thought everyone here was after shooters and the flashy consoles but I must've been wrong lol.

If you want the best RTS out there go with StarCraft (there is a golden StarCraft torrent in Underground Gamer) and you can play on iCCup — International Cyber Cup if you dont have a legit cdkey. But be prepared to be annihilated. StarCraft is being played professionally for more than 10 years now and it'll be very hard even on the lowest ranks. If you like it check out Starcraft Pro Gaming News - this is the best english speaking StarCraft site out there.
The second best option IMO is WarCraft 3. It is played professionally too and is also very competitive so you'll also struggle in multiplayer but there are more noobs than in SC. Just be careful to play the real game and not to get addicted to DoTA or other custom games :).

IMO these are the 2 RTS-s that are deliberately made for competitive gaming. All other RTS-es - C&C, AoE, etc are made mostly for casual gamers and are levels below in strategy depth and difficulty.

P.S. if there are more SC fans here we may make a T-I league, I haven't played it for ages :P
Artaniz does your name come from Artanis? :)

I've played C&C Zero Hour very very much, as the community was really cool. Used to play competitive at Clanwars.cc Gaming Network.

Also played Red Alert 1 & 2 and AoE when I was younger, but that was only SP and not serious at all.

I love Warcraft 2 despite being old I like the medieval type of weapons (I always play the orcs btw), starcraft is very close but I do hate rushers.
